What is the function of automotive dry ice blasting?

Automotive dry ice blasting can be used to clean carbon deposits and pollutants from vehicles. Here is relevant information: 1. Automotive dry ice blasting is a method that uses high-pressure gas to spray dry ice particles. After the dry ice particles are sprayed onto the surface of an object, they sublimate and vaporize, carrying away the heat from the object's surface. This technique is often used abroad to cool and dissipate heat from cars. 2. The dry ice blasting cleaning technology can be fully applied to automotive cleaning and maintenance. Different cleaning process requirements are needed for different parts, such as the engine compartment, combustion chamber, seats, tires, wheel hubs, chassis, dashboard, etc. The precise dry ice particles (minimum diameter 0.15-0.6mm) set by the high-speed fine dry ice cleaning machine achieve the best cleaning effect without damaging the surface of the cleaned object.

Should You Use the Toe or the Ball of Your Foot to Press the Clutch?

Press the clutch with the ball of your foot. Using the ball of your foot to press the clutch pedal provides a solid, powerful, and larger contact area, making it easier to control when positioned towards the front half. The functions of the clutch are: 1. During driving, to prevent the meshing gears in the transmission from being unloaded due to load; 2. To prevent overload in the transmission system and reduce vibration and impact; 3. To ensure smooth starting of the vehicle. Maintenance methods for clutch use include: 1. During split-shaft installation, the coaxiality between the driving part and the driven part shaft should not exceed 0.1mm; 2. During coaxial installation, axial fixation is required to prevent axial movement between the driving part and the driven part; 3. Clean thoroughly before installation to remove anti-rust grease and debris; 4. For wet electromagnetic clutches, lubricating oil should be added between the friction plates during operation.
